2008 Hunts Point garage bombing

The 2008 Hunts Point garage bombing occurred one evening in the spring of 2008 when the Faustin crime family used a truck bomb to blow up one of the Petrovic crime family's garages in Hunts Point, The Bronx, New York City. Niko Bellic drove a Peterbilt 379 truck, rigged with explosives, into the Hunts Point garage from Brooklyn, and he left the vehicle and fled on foot. The truck exploded, injuring a few people walking on a nearby sidewalk; nobody was killed, as no employees were present at the time. Local news outlets were quick to blame the bombing on terrorists in the city.
